- A great success: PHP Weekender day 1
The first day of the PHP Weekender (the free-of-charge, 2-day PHP event
organized by the PHP Usergroup Dortmund) just comes to an end and we are
heading out for the social event. All in all, I have to say, it is a
fantastic event and we are really happy about its success.
- Last change: Know a lot about PHP in 2 days, for free!
I just returned from vacation and realized, that the PHP Weekender (the
free-of-charge workshop weekend for PHP enthusiasts, organized by the
[http//phpugdo.de PHP Usergroup Dortmund]) has 90 verified, registered
attendees so far. This is really cool, we never expected such a huge number
of signups! Anyway, the PHP Weekender starts on upcoming Saturday, October
7th. If you did not register, yet, you should take your heels and run to our
website, since we will only accept registrations until tomorrow 12:00 CET.
- PHP Weekender reaches 50 attendee mark
Today the PHP Weekender (our 2-day, 2-track, free-of-charge, PHP event in
Dortmund) reached the 50 attendee mark (we only count attendees who verified
their email address, yet, else we have almost 60 now). It is a great feeling
for us to see how many people are interested. Since we are at the
university, we have enough space left to get some more attendees in, but
beware, space is already getting rare... So take your heels and sign up for
a place at the PHP Weekender, because Dortmund is on PHP! :)
- Zend PHP 5 Certification
I finally added a button for being a "Zend Advisory Board Member" to my
blog. I did not have the logo so far.
- Qmail and PHPs mail() function
While working with the eZ Mail component, for sending some emails
comfortably, I noticed some issue with my Qmail installation. With some
email accounts that received the emails, the headers were broken and had
double line break characters, so the complete email was broken. That
(weirdly) happened only with some servers (e.g. Gmail), while my own server
handeled the emails gracefully.
- PHPUGDO proudly presents: The PHP Weekender
It's been a good month, since the PHP Usergroup Dortmund asked for feedback
on the idea of a PHP introduction workshop in Dortmund. Because of the huge
masses of interessted people, we expanded the idea and are now going to make
a 2 day, 2 track PHP introduction weekend, including 2 workshops and a lot
of interessting sessions about topics like "XML handling", "Enterprise PHP",
"SOA" and "Shell scripting.
- Reading recommendation: "Exploring PHP"
Kore just returned from his Canada vacation and gave me a hand-signed copy
of the book he co-authored, "Exploring PHP" - "Von Insidern lernen".
Although I did not read it, yet, I'd like to recommend it to you, since I
think to know the authors good enough to believe they write good books. The
book is (beside others) written by my friends Markus Nix, Sandro Groganz,
Kore Nordmann, Stephan Schmidt and Christian Wenz, all of them well-known
experts from the PHP community.
- Comfortable PHP editing with VIM -5-
More than a half year after my last "Comfortable PHP editing with VIM" post,
I take up this series again, although I decided to let it die in January.
Sadly I did not find any time by now, to extend PDV (the PHP Documentor for
VIM plugin) further than it's version 1.0.1, which is available through
vim.org and on my SVN. Anyway, I collected a lot of (at least for me)
helpful VIM tips, which I'd like to share here:
- Free eZ components sessions -2- [Update]
I forgot that Wolfgang and me moved the dates for the sessions, because
Wolfgang is on vacation and wants to take part in the sessions. Sorry for
that! So, here are the correct dates:
- No new content from me at phpfreaks (hopefully)
As I posted a few days ago, I was (and still am) very upset, that
phpfreaks.com still aggregated my content through the feed of
phpdeveloper.org. While I appreciate that phpdeveloper.org aggregates my
content, I dislike the way phofreaks.com does it (with adding ads to my
literal words).
